How to get to Holmenkollen ski jump & Ski Museum by metro
Station, line, walking time and exit — the complete guide.
Get off at Holmenkollen station (Line 1). From there it is a ~10-minute walk to the Holmenkollen ski jump, the Ski Museum and the viewing tower.
Note: Holmenkollen is hilly. From the station it is a steep uphill walk of about 10 minutes to the ski jump.
Alternatively: Frognerseteren (Line 1).
Overview
The Holmenkollen ski jump is one of the most famous ski jumps in the world and a landmark that towers over the whole of Oslo. Beneath it sits the Ski Museum — the world’s oldest, tracing over 4,000 years of skiing history — and you can take the lift up the jump tower for a dizzying view over the city and fjord.
Line 1 (the Holmenkollbanen) climbs high into the hills to Holmenkollen station. The entire trip is within zone 1, so no extra ticket is needed. From the station it is a steep but short walk uphill to the arena.
In winter the historic Holmenkollen Ski Festival is held here, with World Cup ski jumping and Nordic combined events. The rest of the year the museum and tower are open to visitors, and the zipline from the top of the jump is a popular attraction.
